    I've face the problem about network and internet. This problem's face in every month. Just 5 days network & internet is working and another days not working. Even 198 complaint customer care not connected whenever no is connected then person without listening proper matter disconnected the call. Starting problem resolution tat is four days but these issues not resolve till date. I am paying the full amount before bill time but not use the calling, internet. This is wast of money and time. Airtel is wrost company. Wrost customer services. Client problem is not matter. Just airtel given the postpaid connection. Many person call for given the post paid connection and after taken connection customer face the many problems. After summitted the complaint i am not receive any call from airtel customer services. Always i am called to customer care and visit the center. Store person asked for advance amount for coming month. Store person was also not able to resolve my both issues.
    198 call center person ask me call to 515 then they call to client but no body call me at once time till date. Now send the mail to airtel they the said email i'd and phone no is not registered. How can be possible every month i am received the bills, etc mail from airtel but about my complaints time email i'd is not registered. Airtel app show the error now what i do... No body understand my problems.

    Present time i am jobless. My brother is no more. Father and mother not working due to health issue. Now i am searching job my financial situation is not well. Cyber cafe was closed in delhi. Without internet how can apply the job., even i can't call to any person because network is not available. Some person to call me and my phone is switch off show. This time i am facing the many problems but can't explain.

    I am not use the postpaid all benefits. Can't call, can't use internet. Even my normal messages not sent due to network issue.

    Kindly do some action.

        Address: 560040

        Hi,
        This is akshay rao. I had traveled to thailand from 19th april to 23rd april and unfortunately i have received a bill of rs 16, 630 out of which rs 11, 099 is international data charges for those days. I have called the customer care 4 times and on 31.05.2019 it was committed to me that my concern would be resolved but the person who reached me on 01.06.2019 couldn’t do the same and neither had the competency to resolve a client query for a justification that was asked. He was just reiterating what is there on itemized bill and claiming that to be clarification which is not & stating that you need to pay because it is there on the bill & was consumed is not the way executives should be talking to clients. I found the executive to be quite rude and arrogant in his response for asking justification on my data consumption.

        International daily pack was activated on all days (Rs 499) – 500 mb is free per day
        19th april 2019 – data consumption is 283.6 mb
        20th april 2019 – data consumption is 592.2 mb
        21st april 2019 – data consumption is 163.75 mb
        22nd april 2019 – data consumption is 4.084 gb

        My concern is very simple
        A) my concern is consumption of 4 gb on 22nd april 2019 in span of 1½ hour as per the timing generated in the bill (11.16.10 am to 12.56.21 pm) at 4 intervals of exact 1 gb consumption (Image attached of bill). How can a person practically consume so much data in such a span? When on other days i have maintained my data limit. If i had really did consume so much data then i would be aware of it but when i have not consumed then i do not have a reason to pay for it. I had even ensured that the data was off when it was not in use. My friend who was with me had data consumption not more than 2.5 gb even after keeping it on 24 x 7, unlike me. Please note a person needs to watch 720p hd movie for 4 hours to consume so much data approximately depending on resolution etc. I have checked my browsing history and whatsapp data for that day and i didn’t notice any work that would have made my data consumption abnormal.

        Fortunately i have been there for 4 days and i ended up with such bill. If i was there for 15 days may be i would have got a bill worth rs 50, 000 or more.

        I hope it will be resolved. I have written on airtel india facebook page also now.

          I have informed airtel regarding the pathetic network signal and data related problems in my area and they are only saying they are looking to resolve the issue. I informed about this in december and noe it is june. I am very angry and frustrated with airtel. This is ridiculous. I have submitted the speed test record in this complaint as well.

          I need this to be resolved or i would need compensation from airtel for wasting my money and would file a case.

              recharged twice by mistake

              I recharged with 448 rs plan (For which i paid 398 as i had airtel coupon of 50 rs) and i got a message of successful recharge. However when i started my internet it did not work. So i checked on airtel app and it was not reflecting the new validity. So i recharged it again with same plan and still internet is not working and validity is not reflecting.

              Kindly check and when resolved kindly refund my 398 as i need only 1 plan...

              My airtel digitaltv customer id is [protected]. On 17th may i put a service request 89205421 for signal not coming. They told engineer will visit bla bla. But no engineer is visiting afterwards. After calling daily to cc, they transferred my call to senior supervisor who said that they will resolve the issue within 5 days. Maybe the last 15 days were not enough for them! Even after that 3 more days are gone. But no call from engineer... Nothing. The engineer number they sent me was bibhuti ([protected]) who is not picking up the phone and sometimes it is switched off. I am doubting if these people have an engineer. I had recharged for 3 months and everyday some money is being deducted from my dth account. They are telling the after the issue is resolved money deducted from 17th may will be refunded. I have my doubts about this.
              So please resolve this issue by telling airtel to send the engineer immediately and refund the money from 17th or they can refund the rest all money so that i can disconnect from airtel and get the service from other dth providers.

                          Airtel executive ported my connection from vodafone to airtel postpaid (Rn:[protected]) by fraud /on higher plan in gurgaon and i somehow got trapped in their net and my old number got stuck with airtel. Calling helpline, written to nodal and appellate not helping and even after writing many mails they are not providing complaint number. I even asked to waive all charges and convert it to prepaid but their senior staff is also silent on this. I am struggling from around 3-4 months.. But looks like they only acquiring subscribers through all such wrong doings and numbers gets stuck with them. Even airtel network is pathetic in our area. Just want to caution other people to avoid falling in their trap. Do not mnp to airtel

                              My airtel postpaid number is [protected]. My last outstanding bill was Rs 471 and the last date of payment was 30th May. I initiated the payment in the airtel website (https://www.airtel.in/) to pay the bill through my debit card and got two consecutive payment failures one by one until the third time was successful. But unfortunately two bill amounts were debited from my account even after the website showed payments failure notifications. The transaction reference of these failed payments are[protected] and[protected]. I have been an airtel customer for years and would really be grateful if the additional debited amounts are returned to me.

                              Thanking you

                                Sir,
                                With due respect, i need to state that many airtel customer in our area are facing from low network coverage. We are not getting proper data connectivity and we are facing this problem since last 2 weeks. Even after converting to 4g sim, the problem still persists.in our area it can be seen that there are very few towers in our locality. No company's executive/engineer/technician can be seen to take heed of this problem. It would be very pleasing if this problem gets fixed in no time. Looking forward to your kind consideration.
                                Yours faithfully

                                    Dear airtel,

                                    I very often see that the bandwidth of my 4g internet connection is limited to about 25kbps. The latency is then also extremely high. Packets often have more than 30 seconds to reach the destination, i saw delays of more than 5 minutes quite often.

                                    Lets do a little calculation: you sell 2gb data volume per day. You might agree that people have to sleep and also spend some time to work. This leaves maybe 8 hours to use the internet. So the bandwith you have to make available per customer can be calculated as follows:

                                    Bandwidth = 2gb * 8 bitsperbyte / 8 hours / 3600 secondsperhour = 555kbps

                                    555kbps is the bandwidth you promise to customers.

                                    On the other hand we can calculate what data volume can be reached at the limited 25kpbs:
                                    25kbps * 3600 * 8 / 8 = 90mb

                                    Since it is not always, but very often, limited customers are able to use more than these 90mb data volume. But it is easy to see that you deliver only about 10% of what you promise.

                                    So please either immediately increase the available bandwith by a factor of 10 or give all customers a 90% refund.

                                    Thank you.

                                    We recently located from BTM to Jayanagara (in Bangalore) . We tried to relocate our Airtel DTH too, and contacted costumer care numbers . But there is no option for relocation. We are still trying to contact all the customer care numbers but in vain.
                                    Hi,
                                    There is mobile tower in front of my house. Next to a hospital and a temple. It's been there for 15-20 years. We have been taking raditions from so many years and it is a residential area.
                                    Please take necessary action.
